Yup... definitely a nice save Wally, looking good for spring plant-out. Will you be putting them all in pots again this year?

Your grow tent is nicely organised and tidy!
Mine is so overcrowded some plants will have to be sacrificed!

I have no other places to put them. But it's working fine for me

. Hoping for a good hot summer, because they are a lot smaller than last year at this time.

I started three years ago with 42 plants. Now my wife has taken over the garden, so last year I was down to 26. But since growing less plants is still fun, and I throw away most peppers when I have over 2 kilos, it's only 14 this year. Although it feels empty now. Let's wait how it feels when they're all grown up, and see if I will grow more again next year.

Yeah I guess when then grow more they will easily fill that space.
Has spring arrived for you yet? It's still cold here in the uk

We've got sun in the Netherland at this moment, but for the next two weeks it will be more like autumn.

I think we have the same forecast. I'm hoping we've had the last frost, this time last year it was hot and sunny.

PaulS · Apr 5, 2015

They look really nice and healthy dude, especially the pink tigers

stickman · Apr 5, 2015

Beautiful looking plants Wally! What do you think... 2-3 more weeks 'til plant-out?

Spicegeist · Apr 5, 2015

I like the odd-shaped plant. I also saved one of those to grow out this year too...

Thanks Paul, really looking forward to seeing them grow

Probably 3 since that's my first weekend off.

Hope it will do well. It's weird that a plant seems to so soon.

So here's part 2 of 3

Orange Blob F3

Pimenta Lisa, het leeft, maar lijkt het nog zwaar te hebben. Hopelijk herpakt ie zich.

Gibbering Idiot Habanero

Habanero Burning Bush

Got some pics of Habanero Jaguar and Datil as wel, but they will be next

wahlee76 · Apr 10, 2015

Last pics from this update.
In a week or two, they'll go in 12liter pots. Ordered a little greenhouse too, can't waitto see how it will be :party:

Your plants rebounded quite nicely in the new potting mix, Wally.
Amazing what some decent soil and a few nutrients will do!

Have you discovered the culprit, yet? Maybe a sticky trap
under the plant would catch the little bugger.

PaulS · Apr 12, 2015

Shame about the bug dude, otherwise they look great.
What size greenhouse did you go for?

I put the Datil in a 12liter pot today. Didn't see anything off. New leaves seem to be fine though. Hope it's okay now.

a 1.4 by 2 meters greenhouse to put against the wall. I think big enough for at least 7 or 8 plants.

That sounds good. What size final pots will you be using?

wahlee76 · Apr 12, 2015

I use the 12liter pot. Considering the relatively short season we have, these will give big enough plants and a decent amount of peppers. Our garden faces south, so that's a plus as well.

"...1.4 by 2 meters greenhouse to put against the wall. I think big enough for at least 7 or 8 plants."

That sounds great. Should be a great space for those 12-liter pots.
Looking forward to photos of your 'low country' grow!
